My Garden Lily



After all of the rain that mother nature gave us to rid the air of all its humidity, I awoke to see two lilies that bloomed in my backyard! I was waiting for them to bloom for quite awhile now. I actually thought they might have been sunflowers because the stalk was growing so high. I planted some sunflower seeds in May so I just figured that is was going to be a sunflower plant. What a lovely surprise! They are so pretty and vibrant in color, I decided to capture them on camera and hopefully turn the image into a water color piece.

I tried to research to see what type of lily I am growing but I kept finding a variety of different answers. The closest match I have found to my lily image was it being classified as an Orienpet, Oriental Day Lily, and a Stargazer. If you happen to know what kind of lily mine is please let me know!!

These Lillis are beautiful. They are true natural beauty. They warm your heart and awaken you spirit. Your smile does the same thing for me.
